2. Install the Rough Plumbing
CAUTION: Risk of personal injury. Do not select a rim-mount faucet or large deck-mount faucet
for this product. These faucets may be inadvertently used as a means of support and are not
appropriate or safe for this installation. Select a wall-mount faucet or alternative deck-mount faucet.
NOTE: Provide access to all plumbing connections to simplify future maintenance. Include access at the
back of the plumbing wall whenever possible.
NOTE: Do not install the trim at this time.
Before installing a rim- or deck-mount faucet, measure and cut a piece of 3/4" exterior grade
plywood to act as a support under the bath rim. Cut a piece of plywood large enough to support
the faucet components and extend beyond the area where the faucet will be installed.
Install the water supply pipes at one of the specified faucet locations. Refer to the faucet
manufacturer's instructions for proper installation.
Strap the supply lines to the stud framing.
Install the valves according to the faucet manufacturer's instructions.

3. Prepare the Site

IMPORTANT! The whirlpool supports must rest directly on a level subfloor.
IMPORTANT! Squeaking may develop between the bath and the subfloor. If your bath was shipped with
a pad, place the pad between the bath and the subfloor. If your bath was not shipped with a pad, we
recommend installing it in a bed of mortar cement. See "Install a Mortar Cement Bed" section. Do not use
roofing felt or polyester materials.
IMPORTANT! The drain line must be installed in accordance with the drain manufacturer's instructions.
Locate the drain line and trap using the dimensions given in the "Roughing-In" section.
For above-the-floor drain installations, cut the hole in the floor for the drain line.
For through-the-floor drain installations, cut the hole in the floor for the drain assembly. The drain
connection should be made directly under the overflow drain. Leave room to connect the piping.
